On board the U.S.S. Brooklyn during action against rebel forts and gunboats and with
the ram Tennessee in Mobile Bay, 5 August 1864. Despite severe damage to his ship and the
loss of several men on board as enemy fire raked her decks from stem to stern, Brown
fought his gun with skill and courage throughout the furious battle which resulted in the
surrender of the prize rebel ram Tennessee and in the damaging and destruction of
batteries at Fort Morgan.
